Couples who want a small, port-intensive ship with longer stays in port.

What she's like
Easy to find your way around. Fewer crowds getting off in port. About 44 tons of ship per guest. As a rule of thumb, 40 or more feels roomy and under 30 feels busy.
Unknown from line's site.
Our judgment, from $ (budget) to $$$$$ (ultra-luxury).
Gratuities, select standard spirits, international beers and one red and one white house wine by the glass daily, AzAmazing Evening event. Specialty restaurants, Wi-Fi and premium drinks extra (except top suites).
Under-18s must sail with a parent/guardian on ships departing Europe; drinking age 18 in Europe. No kids' club stated.
Resort casual; 'Formal evening wear is not expected nor required.' Bring an all-white outfit for White Night.

Refurbished in late 2026 under 'Azamara Forward'; first sailing after drydock 18 Dec 2026 (Cruise Critic).
